Default azenis or bstone s03's

i was wondering which tires i should get for my EM2. I do mostly reg driving, no autoxing, and track only in the summer. The tires i have now BlOW they are the stock firestones.
I have heard that the S03's are better for daily driving and the azenis are stickier and better for autoxing. But the price of the S0'3s are kind of high and and the azenis are alot cheaper. What do u guys think i should get? considering the driving i do.
are the azenis ok for daily driving?

i dont have any experience w/ the azenis but i have the so3s and they are awesome, they are expensive though. awesome in the rain and in the dry, decent wear, you wouldnt be dissapointed with them but if price is the deciding factor i think that the falkens would be fine for you too.

azeni's kill so3's at auto-x's.

so in the dry, i'd say they're infinitely better.

only problems i've seen with azeni's...cause i've had several sets...is their tendency to hydroplane in standing water...basically in wet conditions their fine until they have to channel water...as i'd say thats their only weakness. but as was posted earlier, don't drive like an ******* in wet conditions and you'll be fine.

Factor in the cost of tire life...what is cost effective in the long run? Buying more sets of Azenis than S03s?

If you do mostly daily driving, the Potenza RE730 is a better tire since you said you only do summer events. Best 300UTGQ tire I've driven on. Will last 2 years or so if you only do say, 3 events a year.
